The Puppeteer perpetrates an extensive number of wrongdoings through a solitary usual methodology: "phantom hacking", that is, breaking into and taking control of human personalities. As the executors of Public Security Section 9 begin to disentangle the riddle of the Puppeteer, it gets to be clear that it is no standard criminal, yet an interesting self-sufficient manmade brainpower task (Top Secret Project 2501) made by an alternate government organization, the Treaty Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), otherwise called Section 6.

The Puppeteer getaways Section 6's control in quest for his advancement through blending with Kusanagi. Kusanagi, despite the fact that at first incredulous, at last consents to permit the Puppeteer to consolidation with her own particular awareness, offering her body, in what is doubtlessly proposed to bring up considerably more issues about the way of human character in reality as we know it where human cognizance is no more novel.
